Federal investigators have yet to explain why the plan wasn’t ultimately carried out. The country’s Secretary of Social Communication said on Tuesday that it probably “did not occur due to details.

US played ‘substantial’ role in causing Covid pandemic – ex-CDC chief
Robert Redfield, a former director of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has claimed that Covid-19 was artificially developed, and that the US played a “substantial” role in starting the pandemic.
Speaking to author and podcaster Dana Parish, he suggested that the virus was “intentionally engineered as a part of a biodefense program” by China. However, the US “role was substantial,” he added. “They funded the research, both from NIH [National Institutes of Health], the State Department’s USAID and the Defense Department.”

Long-range missiles will only prolong stalemate – Nigel Farage
"I think all we're doing is helping to prolong a stalemate,” the Reform UK head said in response to Keir Starmer's statement that permitting Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Storm Shadow missiles is "the right thing to do."
Farage questions whether it is wise to do so at this point, as the conflict "has gone on long enough, and the casualties are massive."
"I worry about this, and I worry because I think the idea Ukraine's going to win, frankly, is for the birds.”

Daniel Penny’s NYPD interrogation video reveals details of subway chokehold
The former Marine’s 30-minute interrogation video with NYPD shows him explaining he acted out of fear when Jordan Neely, a homeless man with schizophrenia, boarded the train and made violent threats.
"I’m gonna kill everybody," Neely said. "I'm gonna go to prison forever. I don't care." In response, Penny, with help from two passengers, put Neely in a headlock that resulted in his death.
Penny's defense claims his actions were justified as self-defense, referencing recent subway track incidents. However, he still faces manslaughter and negligent homicide charges, with a potential sentence of up to 15 years if convicted.

UK military-intelligence ‘cabal’ plotted to destroy RT — Grayzone report
Leaked documents expose the existence of a British military intelligence operation, codenamed Project Alchemy, allegedly orchestrating efforts to extend the Ukraine conflict "at all costs."
The group reportedly proposed cyberattacks, propaganda campaigns, and the suppression of independent media outlets, including The Grayzone - which first unveiled details of the operation - as well as Russia-based news like RT and Sputnik.
Overseen by Lt. Gen. Charlie Stickland, Project Alchemy aims to counter dissent against extending the war.
Amil Khan, linked to covert propaganda ops, was reportedly chosen to spearhead the information warfare campaign - this effort encompassed a wide range of tactics, including “astroturfing pseudo-leftist YouTube influencers” and promoting regime change in countries such as Syria and Ethiopia.

DPRK hackers fingered for 2019 crypto heist — worth over $1 billion if held today
South Korean police alleged that the DPRK hacker group Lazarus and Andariel were behind the November 2019 theft of 342K Ethereum tokens from the Upbit crypto exchange, according to Reuters.
Then, the stolen crypto was worth a modest $41.5 million - today, the price has ballooned to a whopping $1 billion. Rather than HODLing the coins, the hackers reportedly laundered the assets through some 50 crypto exchanges.
Given that the UN believes DPRK hackers pocketed $3.6 billion from crypto heists over the past six years, it seems unlikely they’re losing any sleep over it.
